"This is what so many people find so hard to stomach…it is a natural reaction to behaviour which seems to defy nature/gods will."

"words like "bigotry" and "taboo" in use here amount to being judgmental about those of us who for religious belief, or even secular reasoning see homosexual behaviour as against Gods will ,and against nature."

Well, I can't invoke God but I can science and same-sex encounters exist in nature and are common, including amongst very intelligent species. Bonobos for example frequently engage in 'homosexual' behaviour, as do male lions, many herding animals and cetaceans (Google for papers etc).

So if you need to direct your ire against a certain part of society because you don't approve of their sexual behaviour, don't invoke nature as an argument against homosexuality as it common and natural behaviour. Stick with the theology and argue from there, as your 'against nature' argument is inaccurate and borne of ignorance.

Of course, I'm guessing the extremists would suggest God made nature, so you might well ask yourself why he would build this behaviour into so many species? He's infallible so you must be wrong if as a Christian you think it's wrong . . . and if you're not asking yourself that question, then you need to wonder why.

It's NOT unnatural, it's NOT perverse and it's NOT 'wrong'. Those that protest so much do so for a reason.
